ForteBio Octet

Overview

This Label-Free work cell allows the scientist to automate the acquisition of protein-protein, protein-small molecule binding data as well as cellular assays that can all be carried out on the ForteBio line of readers using BioLayer Interferometry (BLI) technology. It enables real-time, label-free analysis of biomolecular interactions and can provide information on affinity, kinetics and concentration.

The PlateCrane EX is attached to the ForteBio reader with a custom-made alignment based to ensure the highest level of accuracy and repeatability of plate delivery. Also part of this work cell is Hudson’s Micro10x robotic reagent dispener, to prepare sample plates immediately prior to reading. A bar code scanner is also included, to place the microplate’s barcode into the reader’s output data file. The included SoftLinx interface controls both instruments and instructs ForteBio’s software to load and run the appropriate protocol.

Our Label-Free work cells allow scientists to automate the acquisition of protein-protein, protein-small molecule binding data without requiring the use of fluorescent labeling tags or other tethered components that can alter the validity of these studies.
